Warning Signs of a Fraudulent Mover:

Understanding the warning signs of fraudulent movers can not only protect your belongings, but your peace of mind.

1. 1. Your moving company should always do a visual survey of your household goods. That can be in-person or virtual using your smartphone. Either way, it’s a must.
   2. Ask your salesperson about Full Replacement Value Protection (FRVP) — this is the agreement with the van line as to how much your household goods are worth and what will happen if items are damaged during the move. Relocating without FRVP coverage means your household goods are only worth 60 cents per pound, per item. Your expensive television that weighs only 30 pounds would be worth less than $20. Yes, FRVP will cost more, but it’s worth the peace of mind. Make sure your salesperson explains FRVP — and if a company doesn’t offer it, walk away.
   3. You can always check out prospective movers at www.protectyourmove.gov to make sure everyone you consider is in the registered movers database.
